- Before the meeting, delegations from both cities visited the Hong Kong Port Area at Huanggang Port to inspect preparation work on site.
- Tang said preparations for Huanggang Port’s opening are in full swing, with testing, drills, facility optimization and cross-boundary stress tests under way.
- Both sides said they would finalize opening arrangements after inspection facilities are fully optimized and the relevant stress tests are completed

Why It Matters
The latest inspection and meeting indicate that operational planning for Huanggang Port is moving into a more practical stage, with attention on testing and service readiness rather than only construction. For Hong Kong residents and travellers, the immediate issue is whether the new control point can open with safe, efficient and smooth passenger processing and service delivery.
